It may not be the most exciting part of a home improvement project, but preparation is undeniably one of the most important. Spending time getting all the prep work perfect and your room ready for its new look will make your life a lot easier and give you a much more professional result once you've finished decorating. This is why at Homebase we stock a wide range of undercoats and primers for all occasions.

To get a great finish in your living room, bedroom or hallway, apply a coat of surface preparation paint to the walls before your chosen shade of interior emulsion paint. For areas that have suffered from damp in the past, use a good quality damp seal to protect your paint or wallpaper from future damage.

For older homes and those with specific decorating problems, we stock a wide range of specialist paints and preparation products allowing you to achieve a great result no matter what the condition of the surface you plan to decorate. So whether you need liquid sander or primer, plaster sealer or preparation paint we've got the perfect solution to all your decorating needs.
